Best Campgrounds near Henning, TN

Did not have reservation or call ahead as website listed campsite availability. We arrived before 4:45 but everything closed at 4:30- offices, visitor center ect. No one answered phone #s nor gave any after-hour access information. From what we could see the campsites appeared flooded and a lot of construction. Why not list on website or at least have on your phone message? Hope to be this way again and will try again but not without talking with someone in the park

This park has camping, hiking trails, horse back riding and geocaching just to name a few things to do here.

We spent the night while driving north past Memphis. The staff was super helpful. Our site (and the whole campground) was covered in snow and in was cold. Other that that, we had a great experience.

4 stars because it is next to an interstate highway so there is inevitable noise and not much interesting in the way of scenery. Other than that, this is a 5 star place.

We will definitely stay here again.

The campsite was nice. It was divided, the fire pit and the table was up a small hill behind the camper.

The bathrooms were clean and showers were great. The toilets at least in the women’s bathroom the hinges are on the wrong side so the doors do not open wide.

The area is nice. We weren’t able to check out the trails due to an injury I received the week before but the area is so nice.

There were three animals on display ate the animal rehab and owl, Henry (red-tail hawk) and Scarlet (unsure what she was)

A nice place to relax and recharge.

Wife and I camp here 2 or 3 times a year. We have a popup camper, so we have camped on tent and rv sites. Rangers are top-notch and friendly. Bath houses are clean. They have installed a small playground for smaller children. We camp during the week between holidays, so not many campers there. Very quiet and relaxing. Around October, stink bugs are a big nuisance. The sites are kinda close together. But this is a very nice campground.

Some of the park is beautiful and well-kept. The campground, however, is not. While we appreciated the ample shade during our hot July stay, the sites are quite short and were not mowed when we arrived or any time during our four night stay. The last day we were there, part of the campground was finally being mowed, but they stopped before reaching the two loops off of the main one. One site next to ours had a water leak and large puddle. If you have Verizon, there is zero service for miles, making it difficult to research directions or activities. It might be a nice respite for locals, but it does not make for a good base to use when traveling. The dump station has a fixed nozzle and no threaded connection to utilize for flushing or rinsing your tank. It can only be used to rinse the sewer hose.

Over all it was great. Very quite. There is pretty much no cell service heading up or at the camp. They do offer WiFi. My biggest concern would me that camp site 26 is a little to close for my liking. But if you have like two families that want go together then 26&27 would be a great choice.

Lots of woods

Camping here was very quiet at night.  deer frequent the property.  There is a pump stattion but the noise is just an electrical hum.  At the time I was camping only had one spot for an RV and tiny home for rent.  They were building a second tiny home.  I have a 29 ft travel trailer,  Manuvering to and withtin the property was tight but doable.  There are full hook ups but you need to take your trash.  Very peacfull stay.  Thank you.

Just so beautiful. Trails were well marked but not for faint of heart. Campsites were pretty close together and bathrooms not too great. Little black bugs swarmed on warm nights right a dusk for an hour. There’s an airport nearby and planes were constantly flying over one of the nights. We were the only tent there. Tent pads aren’t clearly marked but plenty of level ground to set up. Lake was gorgeous too, I was literally the only one out there.

They knew they had no power and didn’t give us a heads up before showing up. We paid for FHU which means full hook up. No refund and no options to help us. They just told us to deal with it.

It has a pond in the rear with fishing allowed. 🦌 🦌 deer come out in the evening. Can see the stars 🌟 at 🌙 night.

It is definitely not the nicest Park we have been to- laundry facilities are run down, two of the dryers will tear up your clothes, and the bathrooms are never clean. They are working on adding gravel to the spaces, right now though when it rains you are in a swamp. The spaces are also very close together. All that being said, not a terrible monthly price, the trash cans are shared and the wifi is slow in the evening, but you're not paying extra for that or water or power. It is quiet, everyone keeps to themselves, they say it is 3 month maximum but I do know of some who are staying longer. It is in the nicer part of Memphis, so if you are looking for a safe place to stay here, this is it. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway in the country, it is not.

Stayed a couple nights here. Ranger at the office was very friendly and when asked recommended places to go and see in Memphis. Bathrooms are dated. WiFi available at the headquarters office with pw. Site had some debris (old wet rugs).

First time at a KOA, and it was a good experience. Our stay was for 3 nights. Easy check-in and staff were very helpful. They also have a cafe that serves breakfast from Thursday - to Sunday ( due to staffing shortage). Enjoyed Beale Street and of course, toured Elvis's house and complex.

Sites were close together, our pad was part concrete and part gravel, but we were able to level our 5th wheel just fine.

The name of this facility is truthful, it’s a camper lot. All white stone gravel, no landscaping, no trees, no tables or fire rings. Even for a single night stopover, it’s not very attractive. It is right on the lake but then, the nice State Park camping site is right around the corner is too and charges about half the price. 

3 stars because descriptions on this app are not necessarily written by campground owners.

The owner is unstable, beware. Multiple reviews can corroborate. I drove an hour and a half with a one-year-old to a birthday party without intending to use the water park. I asked simply if we all needed to pay for water park passes.$20 per person, and when I said it was ridiculous, the owner lost her mind on me. Told me, then don't go then! And I called her business ridiculous. I told our friends I cussed her out. All lies there were children in the office. I never raised my voice, let alone cussed. I told her she needed to learn to talk to people and be respectful, and she told me to get off her property. I seriously hope she gets her help because something isn't right.

We live close and love being able to break away and isolate ourselves from the world. There is no cell reception really at campsites and that just makes it better. Quiet and clean spot for a weekend away.

We love this state park. We frequent it regularly. The sites are all mostly level (front to back and side to side), the facilities are well maintained and the rangers patrol regularly. 

This is a very wooded campground, offering lots of privacy. There's a nice playground that my youngest is a big fan of. The campground is also a short drive from Poplar Tree Lake which offers boating and fishing (kayak rentals are available, or you can bring your own); no swimming area though.

Some of our favorite sites are 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 25, and 26. These are in all in the two smaller loops, though the main loop sites are quite nice as well, they just don't feel quite as secluded. 

Also, make sure to check out the Shelby Forest General Store. They sell little bit of everything, including great food if you don't feel like cooking at the campsite!
